18 Month Update

The time has come. My little girl is a year and a half old. Time sure does fly when you have a little one. It's certainly exciting but at the same time so very sad and bittersweet. She is growing and developing into such a beautiful, happy, and polite little girl!

We got her 18 month/spring/Easter pictures taken a couple days ago and they turned out so cute but I won't get them back for another week or so.

She picks up stuff so incredibly fast, sometimes I wonder where she even learns some of the things she does and says.

She is sitting steady at 25 pounds and still only has 7 teeth.

Her vocabulary is huge and still growing. 

Her sleeping habits are exactly the same. The only difference is we are slowly phasing out her pacifier. She was only getting it during nap and bedtimes but for a week now, she hasn't had it at all, for either times. It's actually not affecting her sleeping, except maybe its taking her 5-10 extra minutes to fall asleep. But she just got sick yesterday and she was having a hard time sleeping so I caved and gave it to her so we both could get some much needed sleep. My goal is to have no more pacifier for nap and bedtime by 2 years old so we still have a little bit of time.

She is fitting into only a small pile of 12 month clothing anymore, we have moved onto mostly 18 month and some 18-24.

She is such a little lady, it's hard to imagine my life prior to having her in it. I'm so grateful I get to spend each and every day with her for the past 18 months. 

Last year at this time, when she was only 6 months, I decided I wanted to start a little family tradition with her and celebrate her HALF birthday! Nothing fancy, no big party, just a little cake and a lot of love. I plan to keep this tradition alive for a long time.
